Re-reading that Morning Wood article on a desktop and getting entertained by it all over again. "Most of that was done on crowds that I could fit into my back garden but you would expect them by now to of really improved." What a sentence. Quite a neat little flex to say that 250 or so could fit into your back garden too. The bit about the Wood Army fleecing him into building them a proper home end to "get the place rocking" is comical too, but at least he's not spending that money on a Thai bride I presume. It is rather staggering they're getting 277 in the home end including various guests, players and dignitaries though. I think most teams we played in the Unibond North, like Prescot Cables or Bamber Bridge, would easily do better if similar were invested. Especially sad given the Wembley thing which usually gives a booster to support. Not like Sutton bringing just 130 fans 30 miles is good either. Someone on Twitter is saying their own matchday commentators, who are volunteers, have to pay as a media team to do their own unpaid work for the team they love! I don't wish them to go bump, but I do think it's a sign they should be winding it down now and funding B-Wood based on what actually comes in. And hopefully they do so in time for Saturday 12th October.

Gonna have to debate you here, sorry. Fullarton is potentially above Vince, depending on how the Lenighan thing factors in

Pretty funny interview with the chairman involving their crowds. Apparently they’ve sold 300 adults/senior tickets at £99 each and still only got 270 home fans this weekend, less than half the crowd of the second worst supported team. https://www.borehamwoodfootballclub.co.uk/uncategorized/lack-of-support-a-concern/

Bloody hell Ian

Considering how much I’m feeling the fact Maher’s getting a scan this week, I feel any success in this small squad hangs by a mere thread. Will we turn out to have the strength in depth that wasn’t there last season?

Any MP worth a nanosecond’s thought tends to catch up on their huge backlog of casework in the five-week summer recess. It’s the main reason they have it.

Now he's a free man you can be his agent! I'm sure the job will be worth more than flogging a few sheds

YA WEE DANCER

Two weeks in and another player’s written off by the all-knowing Teddyboy. You don’t even adjudge a hen’s egg to be a dud within that time.

I wouldn’t bother with a keeper next Saturday. “He’s a good shot stopper” does not win games.

Always bloody Aldershot away.

Maher’s hamstring still acting up it seems. Bah! Confident in the side though and if we work as hard as Tuesday with improved finishing, I can be happy.

Stiff competition from the last 28 years, but I feel the Cameron Coalition government has been the worst in my relatively short lifetime. It's managing, somehow, to masquerade the 2010–15 government's evil genius in necessity, compromise and moderation that did it. It helped move millions in this country towards accepting the awfulness of things, and resisting the idea that anything can get better from here on in. Read the comments sections anywhere and you'd believe we're a nation of bootlickers. Beyond the inevitable tidal change of equal marriage and the Freedom of Information Act, I really struggle to see any positives whatsoever.

Police numbers drop by over 22,000 in 2010–18, but we're bringing them up by 20,000 again. Lavvaly bit a business.
